THE FUTURE OF SUSPENDED ESSENDON COACH JAMES HIRD IS UNDER A CLOUD AFTER HIS WIFE'S INTERVIEW WITH THE ABC.

THE ESSENDON FOOTBALL CLUB HAS CALLED A MEETING AFTER CLAIMS FROM TANIA HIRD ON THE 730 PROGRAM, THAT THE CLUB WAS "TIPPED OFF" BY A-F-L CEO ANDREW DEMETRIOU, ABOUT LAST YEAR'S ASADA INVESTIGATION.

CHAIRMAN PAUL LITTLE SAYS THE JAMES HIRD ISSUE, WILL NEED TO BE DISCUSSED.

MR DEMETRIOU SAYS THE ALLEGATION SIMPLY ISN'T TRUE.

GEELONG HAS CELEBRATED VETERAN JIMMY BARTEL'S 250TH AFL GAME WITH A 38 POINT HOME WIN AGAINST ADELAIDE LAST NIGHT.

THE CATS TRAILED BY A POINT EARLY IN THE LAST QUARTER BEFORE FINISHING STRONGLY TO WIN 119 TO 81.

GEELONG COACH CHRIS SCOTT SAYS IT WAS A BRAVE FIGHTBACK.

ENIGMATIC AUSTRALIAN BERNARD TOMIC HAS CREATED AN UNWANTED RECORD... BY LOSING THE FASTEST TENNIS MATCH IN THE HISTORY OF THE A-T-P TOUR.

FINLAND'S JARKKO NIEMINEN TOOK ONLY 28 MINUTES TO DEFEAT TOMIC IN THE FIRST ROUND OF THE MIAMI MASTERS.

BRAD HODGE SAYS THE FORM OF AUSTRALIA'S OPENERS IS GREAT FOR THE TEAM HEADING INTO THE T-20 WORLD CUP IN BANGLADESH.

AUSTRALIA HAS NEVER WON THE TOURNAMENT.

BUT WITH DAVID WARNER AND AARON FINCH IN TOP FORM AHEAD OF SUNDAY'S OPENING MATCH AGAINST PAKISTAN. THE TEAM IS FEELING CONFIDENT.
